> This may be a bit off topic but I saw the thread and I had to ask, > is there any decent HDTV tv cards that Work in FreeBSD 7.1 or even 8? There is Jason's cx88 driver (in ports), which supports several cards, some support ATSC, some support DVB, some support NTSC. Supported OSes: http://corona.homeunix.net/cx88wiki Supported cards: http://corona.homeunix.net/cx88wiki/Overview/SupportedCards There is John-Mark's driver for the DViCO FusionHDTV5. Not a "card" but the HDHomeRun is a small box with 2 ATSC/QAM tuners that connects to 100 Mbps or faster Ethernet. The HDHR has no analog tuner capability. There is a DVB version in the works, I don't know what the status is. The HDHR doesn't require a special device driver in the kernel, just Ethernet.
